The alarming disease of this
country Is nervous debility and
prostitution. I6 goes under
many nsses lut it is essen
tally tie same compla tt.
Hospitals and private inssivu-
tons fer nervous patients are
crowded. fhe average Of hfe
in the United States is de-
creasing every year. Sudden
deaths from nervous collapse
among our business, profess
ional and public men are SO
frequent as scarcely to excite
remark. The majority of sui
cides, committed without ap-
parent reason, or under so-called
"depression of spirits, . are
really prompted by nervous
prosrat.cn, which is a fruitful
source of insanity and crime
with all their grief and horror.
These facts are startling.
They threaten the very life of
the nation. They assail the
springs Of its power and pros
perity. They wreck manhood's
strength and wolnan's useful
ness and beauty.
Every one should know the
causes. What are they2 The
answer is easy and terribly
plain: Our vicious personal
habits; our careless and lawlessi
eating and drinking; the in.
tense mental and physical strain
arising from our mad race after
money, position and influence;
the fears and struggles of pow
erty; the use of narcotics and
stimulanta; our fashion of
turning day into night and
night into day; and, briefly,
our desperate willingness to
pay any price for an hours
pleasure or success. So we
burn LIES candle at both ends
and FL the lunatic asylums
and the graveyards.
Tie cisease from which we
suffer and die is, in plain Eng
lish, Nervous Dyspepsia, as it
is seated in the Nerves and in
the organs oe n.--es:.ioD, Assim-
ilation and Nutrition. Healthy
digestion benz inpoded or des-
troyed, the y hole body, nerves
included, "a literally starred;
even when there is no ENACT
alton to tel tie sat! tory.
Nervous rostF&t.on sends
out IL warnings headache

dull heavinesg or aching at the
base of tbs bra:N; wahefplness;
loss of appst.te@ld disgust with
food; loss OF neIt:&l energy and
interest in ordinary duties and
business; rastie@sAess and anx-
iety without any assignable
reason; eructations; bad
breath; loul mucous on the
teeth; occasional giddiness;
palpitat.oa Of the heart; sal
lowness Of the skin; coated

strength and ambition.
The remedy is a total aban-
donmen! Of the habits and GUS
toms which cause the disease
in each individual case, and the
use Of Slider Lrtract Of Roots
(Seigel's Syrup to cure the
mischief a.ready done. This
great remedy, prepared by the
Shaker Community of Mt. Leb-
anon. Il. T., is especially adapt
ed to eradicate Nervous Dys-
pepsia. 10 do this it acts
directly AMI gently but power
fully upon the disordered stom-
ach, liver and kidneys, restor-
ing their tone and vigor, pro-
noting: the secretion of bile, ex-
pelling waste matters from the
system, and purifying the blood.
Upon the nervous system
Shaker Ent1'act(Seigel's Syrup
acts as safe and wholesome
anodyne without the slightest
narcotic effect, and then leaves
the nerves to regain their nat
ural tone and strength through
its wonderful influence upon
the function Of nutrition.

ous dyspeptics have been re-
